The 12th pick of the 2002 draft by the Los Angeles Angels, Saunders is pitching in his ninth Major League season. He went a combined 33-14 in 2008 and '09, and made the American League All-Star team in '08. A left-hander, Saunders won 27 games in three seasons with the Hokies.

A runner-up at The Greenbrier Classic last month, Wagner won for the third time on the PGA Tour at the 2012 Sony Open in Hawaii. He was a third-team All-American and two-time All-Big East selection at Tech, where in 2001 he helped the Hokies finish eighth at the NCAA championships.

Engelberger arrived at Tech in 1995 as a walk-on tight end and departed as an All-America defensive end and second-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers. As a senior in 1999, Engelberger teamed with Corey Moore to form college football's most dynamic end tandem as the Hokies went 11-1, losing only to Florida State in the national championship game. A Leesburg resident, Engelberger started 80 games in nine NFL seasons, five with the 49ers, four with the Denver Broncos.

A starter on the last Tech basketball teams to make consecutive NCAA tournaments (1985 and '86), Beecher, a classmate of All-American Dell Curry, remains among the top 10 in program history in rebounds, field goals and free-throw percentage. He was a fourth-round draft choice of the Sacramento Kings in 1986 and works as a lead estimator for a Roanoke-area contractor.

Crowell ranks among the Hokies' career top 10 in RBIs, hits, runs, doubles, pitching victories, winning percentage and ERA. In addition to her pitching duties, she played third base and the outfield from 1999-2002. A former assistant coach at Oklahoma State, Crowell just completed her second season as Miami of Ohio's head coach.

Milley in 1979 became the first Tech tennis player to be nationally ranked (No. 20) and qualify for the NCAA singles championship. He is one of two players in the last 65 years to win three consecutive Virginia State Opens and is an operating room nurse at Memorial Regional Medical Center in Mechanicsville.
